Kaiseki Basket-Weave Kobachi Small Bowl
Estimated Shipping Widget will be displayed here!
The Kaiseki Basket-Weave Kobachi Small Bowl carries a geometric beauty inspired by traditional ajiro weaving patterns once associated with fishing nets. Beneath the translucent celadon glaze, the woven motif gathers light softly, appearing and fading with subtle shifts in depth. Resting on a delicate foot, the bowl feels both grounded and graceful.
Each piece is shaped by pressure casting from molds derived from hand-carved plaster originals. Rather than sharply emphasizing the carving, the pale blue-white glaze gently softens the relief, creating a calm surface where texture and shadow seem to dissolve into one another.
Whether used for chilled seasonal dishes, small appetizers, or delicate sweets, the bowl settles naturally into the rhythm of the table. The softly flared rim and openwork silhouette give even simple presentations a sense of lightness and space.
Packaged in an elegant gift box, it makes a perfect present for anyone who enjoys cooking and hosting gatherings with friends and family.

Kobachi Small Bowls
Kobachi, literally “small bowls” in Japanese, are designed for serving appetizers and side dishes. Deeper than a small plate but smaller than a main course or ramen bowl, kobachi are just the right size for light stews and simmered vegetables. Incorporating one or several kobachi bowls into a table setting and arranging dishes of different sizes and colors lends your meal an authentic Japanese atmosphere.
This category includes bowls with diameters under 12.9 cm (5.1 in).
Celadon
Celadon porcelain originated in China and was introduced to Japan by the 10th century. Among the aristocratic classes at that time, celadon wares from China were regarded as the finest imported goods. They adored its mysterious blue and named it "secret-color."
Production of celadon ware began in the Hizen region, the northwestern part of present Kyushu in the early Edo period (1603 CE - 1868 CE), and the technique was later passed on to Kyoto and nearby areas. In 1957, the craft technology was designated a national intangible cultural asset. Celadon continues to be cherished and crafted by many potters and artisans today.
